IAN'S PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY

XINJIANG GALLERY 2

More photos of Xinjiang...mostly taken at Kashgar. Tushkurgan is the last post in China before the Karakoram Highway leads on to Pakistan. This is a lonely post and Chinese soldiers sent to man this place looked quite out of place where most people are Tajiks.
